    Cool

    God this strange you got 400+ posts and your asking me questions???

    All i used was the Windows Api i.e. BitBlt, GetWindowDC, CreateCompatibleDC, LoadBitmap and SelectObject.

    The reason i used these is that this is what i would have used if i where programming it in VB (Hint - VBprogrammer). Have a look at source, i posted it last night.

    Question

    ninebit i dont think this is necessary as my program works off a windows timer, so as long as it is an almost desent processor it should run at the same speed. I have tried it on diffrent computers (from a IBM 230Mhz to a Dual 1.2Ghz athlon system) and they all run about the same speed.

    The number of posts has nothing to do with how good you are in programming...

    Make it so it doesn't pop up an annoying box when you die, having to go from the keyboard to the mouse all the time gets tiring (in other word I crash into the walls a lot).

    but otherwise it's pretty cool.

    You should get rid of the "magic numbers."

    I am looking at the code and I see stuff like

    BitBlt(WindowDC,((x * 28)+4),((y * 28) + 24),28,28,StuffpicDC,56,0,SRCCOPY);

    How am I supposed to know the signifigance of the numbers 28, 24, 56, etc?
